Erling Haaland’s release clause details revealed: how much is it and what conditions are there?

Should Real Madrid or PSG want to lure the Norwegian goal machine in the future, they will have to dig deep to secure the striker’s services.

It’s fair to say that Norwegian striker Erling Haaland has hit the ground running at Manchester City since his summer move from Borussia Dortmund.

‘One of the best’

Haaland has bagged 15 of City’s 33 Premier League goals this season, including three hat-tricks, and netted another five in the Champions League in 12 appearances in all competitions. ‘He is one of the best. I have many very, very good strikers and Erling is one of them,’ Guardiola told the media on the eve of City’s Champions League game at FC Copenhagen. ‘He understands quickly and he is a nice guy. He is able to do this for the team, but we need to work together and that has happened. I speak a lot about him, but sometimes I should not have to because the numbers, they do this.’

At present the striker is on track to pulverize previous existing records held in the Premier and Champions League should he maintain this insatiable scoring run.

Haaland’s impact at City has not been lost on other would be suitors with both Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain rumoured to be working on plans to lure the Norwegian to the respective Spanish and French cities in the future and after much confusion surrounding the nature of a release clause, details have finally surfaced of who much it will cost to tempt Haaland away from Manchester.

The Arsenal star has been out of action since the World Cup after injuring his knee on Brazil duty. Gabriel Jesus appeared to ditch his crutches in his latest Instagram snap Jesus, 25, has been spotted using crutches at Arsenal's training ground Jesus, 25, was subsequently spotted returning to the Gunners' training ground on crutches. But in his latest Insta story, he appeared to wave them goodbye. The forward posted a snap of himself holding the crutches down to one side. He captioned it "Liberdade cantou" - meaning "Freedom sang" in English. Since his serious injury, Jesus has been rehabbing in the gym. Prior to the World Cup, the former Manchester City star scored five goals and laid on a further seven assists in 20 outings for the Gunners. He is not expected to return to action until late February at the very earliest. Ahead of Arsenal's Boxing Day clash with West Ham, boss Mikel Arteta hinted that his side could enter the market for a Jesus replacement. He said: "With Gabi it’s difficult to put a time frame. I never gave a date. I said that we don’t know. "It’s going to take some time for sure. He’s gone through surgery and that tells you the extent of the injury. "We will be in the market always active and we will assess the biggest opportunities that we have." The Gunners so far haven't struggled in Jesus' absence, winning both matches since he went down. Arsenal beat West Ham 3-1 in their first match back from the World Cup break, before then winning 4-2 at Brighton - with Jesus' understudy Eddie Nketiah scoring in both matches.

Release clause

Earlier this month Guardiola was asked about a release clause for the player and denied that one existed: “It’s not true. He doesn’t have a release clause for Real Madrid or any other team. It’s not true, that’s all I can say,” claimed the Catalan coach.

Details have surfaced however via the Athletic that the Norwegian does have such a clause but this will only be triggered in 2024 and only applies to clubs outside the English Premier League. Anyone interested in prizing Haaland away from City will have to initially convince the player with an attractive proposition and then pay €200 million (£175 or $194m) to City. Its value then decreases as his five-year contract nears its end which will make it easier for the Norwegian to make a move to a potential LaLiga or Ligue 1 destination.
